Large quantities of water if not taken during the feeding hour tend to favor the formation of fat. Give Healthy Animals Plenty of Water. Healthy animals may be given as much water as they desire, with cer- tain restrictions imposed in relation te work and feeding. The good horse- man does not allow his horse very much water either immediately be- fore or after severe, work or after feeding, knowing that certain diges- tive troubles are apt to occur.
